USB support

I have tried a search and came up with nothing in the forums searching "usb" so i though id post a thread myself. If this has been covered already my appologies if not could we make this a sticky for ease of all trying to hack usb on their wii.

ok here it goes.

I have noticed that there are certain homebrew apps that have an option to playback media files off of USB as well as an sd card. So this basicly tells me that the wii USB can access a thumbdrive (or possibly a usb hard drive)*crosses fingers* through homebrew. It would be nice if one of the nice people making some of our homebrew apps could look at implementing USB support in the homebrew channel or even through a menu hack of some sort

Thanks for listening, and all the tuts i needed to hack the hell outta my wii

It is not as clean as the homebrew channel, but it can read homebrew off of USB. I'm not sure how well that works, I just use both an SD card and a USB thumb drive to store WADs/ROMs/etc. Most of the emulators support ROMs on the USB.

It would be nice to be fully supported/featured, But is it really necessary at this point? I mean I have a 2gb sd card with a bit of homebrew on it, and its hardly used any space at all??? The only advantage I could think of would be an 8gb thumbdrive that an app could dump an image to of a game.
